The U.S. military is commemorating the 74th anniversary of the WWII D-Day landings in France on June 6, 1944. In the ensuing days of the battle for Normandy, there were an estimated 425,000 Allied and German casualties—those killed, wounded, or missing.

To commemorate the battle, U.S. service members from 20 units in Europe and the United States are participating in the “Joint Task Force Normandy 74” ceremonies from May 30 to June 7 in close to 40 locations throughout the Normandy region of France.
